Expected 200 to show up, but had over 3000 in attendance!!!
There’s so much in this speech, I’m going to listen it to it twice!
I’m so unused to seeing a man stand up and speak like this by now — it’s totally amazing.
I encourage all to give this a listen.
And he sure has a lot of fun with Harry Belafonte!
did he talk about the invasion?
I was there. And more importantly, so were hundreds of blacks! Over the past thirty years I have attended many conservative political events in Memphis and throughout Tennessee. There were more blacks there today than I’ve ever seen for any other conservative event in this state.
I am not onboard with a national sales tax, but that was a barn burner of a speech!
Cain will not “shoot from the Lip” LMAO!!! AWESOME!!!
GREAT news!
I so want to see blacks decide for themselves which party they want to support.
When one race gives 90% of its vote to one political party, there’s something wrong with that picture.
But I will now.
If you're interested in a lively overview of a lot of the arguments for and against the NST, you might be interested in this thread. ICYMI.
This speech was full of awesomeness.
Most of all: it was real.
I can’t even imagine Romney or Perry having the thought processes, much less the communication skills, to come up with a message such as this one.
“We needed to get rid of some dead weight so we threw the teleporompter off the bus!”
I hope Cain gets to Debate Obama!!!! Oh he will eviscerate him.
Just tried to watch the video and it says it’s unavailable at this time. There must be a bunch of hits on it.
That BS from AS that wants to replace it with a carbon tax? LoL
No way!
Obama must be peeing his pants at the thought of it. Plus, it must seem like he is going to get whupped by the man he wishes his father was.
Good news on the hits, but please bookmark and watch it later. I think you’ll stand in awe of what Mr. Cain and the Tea Party are on their way to doing for this nation!

Oh, forget about the article! Read through the thread for the pros and cons, if you’re interested and missed it.
I don’t love the sales tax component either, but when you take into account the reduction of embedded taxes, most of us will be better off. Moreover, there is absolutely nothing to prevent congress from enacting a 9% national sales tax right now while leaving the income tax system as it is.
I prefer the Fair Tax to 9-9-9, but he has proposed this as an intermediate step to get us from the current system to the Fair Tax. 9-9-9 may be a good way to get us there.
“I cant even imagine Romney or Perry having the thought processes, much less the communication skills, to come up with a message such as this one.”
He certainly has an “it factor” that no one else in this race has. Sarah Palin has that same kind of charisma, but she cannot speak like Herman Cain. I like her, but at times she uses tortured syntax. Fred Thompson is dripping with charisma, but his campaign was a real clunker. But I have heard him give some barn burner speeches.
